F LOIS EXPLAINED (Continued from pass 1) Friday Mr. Robertson and his i-moelates will confer with farm ii at Wood burn and Saturday at SilTerton in the city hall. A warning to Marlon county farmers to be. careful in plaster ing their farm equipment and rock with chattel mortgages was pourded yesterday by County Commissioner Melson as result of the conference with a Reconstruc tion Finance corporation repre sentative at the chamber of com merce. "The farmers who gathered here yesterday evidently believed they were to meet with the same kind of seed loan proposition made possible through the federal department of agriculture and the R. F. C. last year, but soon found the propositions made yesterday were hard business, with Interest ja.inients of t1 per cent and (hattel mortgages involved," Mr. Melson said later In the day. As result of the misconception, th Salem chamber of commerce, at.Melson's suggestion, yesterday . wired Senator Charles McNary at Washington, D. C. to know when aeed loans would be available this year. Last year, seed loans of from t5 to 200 from the government were available to a number of farmers here through a large aw set aside by the R.

In case the mlllage tax Is repealed this institution will be compelled to appear be fore the legislature biennially and Justify its requirements. The committee approved the budget for the state board of con trol, after applying salary and wage reductions, and recommend ing that the operating personnel be reduced from 14 to 10 persons. The appropriations approved by Governor Meier for the various divisions of the state department were reduced approximately $62. 000, including salary cuts.

Feb. 1 (AP) Conviction deepened among congressional leaders tonight that no comprehensive farm relief pro gram can be enacted this session. Chieftains of both parties were virtually agreed that the time re maining before March 4 is too short and the Jam of appropria tion bills and other measures is piling too high to permit passage of any Important farm legislation except possibly an emergency re lief bill.

THE movies have their panther woman; the house its "wolf man," thin-haired, red -cheeked B. F. Nichols, who sought and secured larger bounties for cou gars and wolves. Yesterday he painted a dolorous picture of Douglas county and its school children, many of whom, he says, attend school wearing floursack underwear. Perhaps trom now on they will be garbed In congar pelts. In all events, this writer thought It in keeping when ha read in the Roseburg Chieftain that Commissioner Nichols was setting about to reduce county costs by providing a complete fu neral for Indigents for $15 Instead of 40, the prevailing price. In vestigation revealed that the Doug last commissioner is B. S., not B. F. Nichols, the latter being the "wolf man." Similarity of initials Is said to have been a great aid to the commissioner in his cam paign. Barnett H. Goldstein browsing around, the session Wednesday, having come down from bis Portland law office to see what was going on. Gold stein Is the attorney who repre sented Corporation Commis sioner Mott in the latter'- vig orous prosecutions of a nnmber of Bine Sky law violations. Goldstein worked hard and se cured many convictions, despite clever defense tactics, but he submitted good-sized bills for fees, which aroused consider able press comment. Now a bill is in the house to make the attorney-general or his deputies do all state work, obviously a thrust at Goldstein and others. Bert Haney Is another Port- lander looking on from time to time. Haney is another of the democratic forgotten men, party leaders who like Ed Bailey said "were armed with forks when it was raining soup." Haney dearly wanted to run for the United Stataes senate last year but the race meant giving up the attor neyship for Meier & Frank and that is a better sure job than the uncertain task of defeating Fred erick Steiwer. Caution prevailed: Haney follows in the legal pott of the late George Joseph, Steiwer sits for six more years In Wash ington, but who can doubt that in the breast of Haney slumbers the unquenchable tire which led him to political battle in 1926 and which in the more auspicious days of '32 might have carried him back to Washington where once he made the headlines as he fought it out with "Canny Cal.' Mrs. Hannah Martin made her maiden legislative speech, seeking a S50 monthly mini mum salary for school teachers instead of the two-year mora torium on the 975 limit, the report favored by the majority of the committee on education. Her cause lost although she ral lied more than 20 votes for the minority and demonstrated that Marion county's '31 Mrs. Smith has been followed by another woman of fluent tongue. Mrs. Martin has not given up her fight: She is reported to be seeking further amendment to the majority report when the bill comes up for final vote today. Granting courtesy of the floor to home-towners wins many a vote for a representative or sena tor. The merchant, lawyer, farm er or school teacher from the up state dearly loves to sit with the lawmakers, have their names ac knowledged by the presiding of ficer and formal courtesies thus extended them. This method of political donation Is cheaper than cigars, cleanlier than kissing ba bies, almost as effective as pat ronage. Familiarity with names, gain ed from long newspaper experi ence, so facilitates Elbert Bede'e calling of the house roll that by the time the session is 10 days under way he can drone oat the CO-name roll call blank without reference to the printed blanks. This speeds np the call, so mnch so that Bede frequently reads the roll faster than the mem bers respond. Another quirk of the house reading clerk is te call only the first few and last two names on the list when a pell of the house is required. The senate roll call is polled a bit mere formally, the leading clerk there going through the entire list. Sick for two months has been Dr. E. E.

Governor Meier shortly before noon Wednesday informed the legislature of the negotiation of the loan and later in the day State Treasurer Holman made a formal announcement. The loan can be made on four conditions, the governor pointed out: The three-mill levy on real property for 1933 and 1934 Is to stand unless other tax sources of equal or additional revenue are provided. Appropriations by the 1933 leg islature are not to exceed the gov ernor's budget. It a warrant basis should ulti mately be adopted, first moneys received thereafter should be used to repay the loan rather than to pay warrants. Certificates of Indebtedness of the state are to be Issued tor the loan with interest thereon at five per cent annually. Need of Averting Warrant Issue Seen "It was the opinion of the state officers as well as Portland bank ers," the governor declared, "that every possible legal and proper means should be utilized to keep the state from a warrant basis." The following banks will take the loan in the amounts named: United States National 3600,000: First National $250,000; Ameri can National ISO. 000 Canadian Bank of Commerce 846,000; Citi zens' National $10,000; Chase Na tional ot New York $800,000.

Curb Upon Banks In Railway Deals Urged by I. C. C. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. (AP) Legislation to prevent the banks from dominating railroad reorganizations was urged today by the legislative committee of the Interstate commerce commis sion as one means of helping the carriers.

Ste vens opened the world's largest hotel, a $30,000,000 building ot 3000 rooms. Today the grand jury Indicted him, now 89 years old, with his two sons on charges of embezzle ment, conspiracy, fraud and lar ceny. The 2 5 -story hotel was a monu ment to the success, social prom inence and stability of the Stevens family one of Chicago's proud est whose name it bore. Stevens had won his way up from dry goods clerk to merchant, banker, financier, hotel owner, and head of the Illinois Lite In surance company. He was in all respects a leader. The indictments charged the father and sons brought about the collapse of the Insurance com pany, with 70,000 policies of 3150.000,000 face value, by loans to themselves and their proper ties and by declaring $250,000 dividends while the company was raising a defioit that reached nearly 7,000,000.
